HDL (high density lipoprotein) Less than 40 mg/dL (men), less than 50 mg/dL (women): increased risk of heart disease Greater than 60mg/dL: some protection against heart disease LDL (low density lipoprotein) is considered "bad" cholesterol. The risk of heart disease goes up if you have...
HDL-C levels can be classified as follows [12,10]: High risk: < 40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L) for men or < 50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L) for women Average risk: 40-50 mg/dL (1.0-1.3 mmol/L) for men and between 50-59 mg/dl (1.3-1.5 mmol/L) for women Low risk: > 60 mg/dL (1.5...
associated with elevated plasma TC and LDL cholesterol levels exceeding the 95th percentile corrected for age and gender (TC ¼ 6.5 mmol l À 1, HDL ¼ 1.5 mmol l À 1, LDL ¼ 4.4 mmol l À 1 and TG ¼ 1.2 mmol l À 1), comparable to the cholesterol increase seen in...
The overall results were unchanged when we adjusted for age as a squared variable or when we excluded participants with (1) DBP level 80 mm Hg or higher, (2) LDL-C level 130 mg/dL or higher, (3) fasting glucose level 100 mm Hg or higher, or (4) women with an HDL-C level ...
Multivariable analysis yielded similar results when LDL-C was replaced with non–HDL-C, suggesting no advantage of using one lipid variable over the other. Conversely, the multivariable models showed no link to subclinical atherosclerosis for other apolipoprotein B–containing particles, specifically ...
blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmHg or hypertension; (3) HDL cholesterol > 40 mg/dL in men or > 50 mg/dL in women; (4) triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL; and (5) waist circumference ≥ 90 cm in men or ≥ 80 cm in women...
Although not known as well as its cousins LDL andHDL, lipoprotein(a) may be just as important for health. Like LDLcholesterol, high levels have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Lp(a) levels are largely determined by genetics. However, emerging studies have found...

The cardiometabolic risk factors for NWCO (by WC, WHtR and WHR) were HP, diabetes, IR, DIS, low-HDL and elevated TG. Furthermore, NWCO by WC was additionally associated with a decreased risk of IIS and an increased risk of elevated TC, and NWCO by WHtR was additionally associated ...
(Citation16,Citation17). A previous study has shown that women with PCOS typically have significantly higher TG levels compared to controls (Citation21). Similarly, evidence suggests that individuals with IR or diabetes tend to have higher TC, TG and LDL-C, and lower HDL-C (Citation22,...
